The Crow of Connemara by Stephen Leigh ($25.95)
Set in Ireland and Chicago, The Crow of Connemara is the spellbinding tale of Colin Doyle, a young Irish-American musician drawn to his grandfather’s homeland.
Entranced by the music and legends of the island, gifted with his grandfather’s journal and a mysterious jewel, and bespelled by dreamlike images of a woman calling to him, Colin feels his inescapable destiny lies across the waters.
On the west coast of Ireland, in the Connemara region, the music is everything he hoped it would be, and the legends seem to come to life before his eyes. In the small town of Ballemor, Colin first encounters the woman of his dreams, Maeve Gallagher.
Maeve, a raven-haired beauty with eyes of emerald green, is the leader of a small group, the Oileánach, that has taken over the island of Inishcorr just off the coast and is making their stand against government officials determined to evict them. But Maeve and her followers are more than rebellious squatters—they are the living embodiment of ancient ways, of a time before mortals ruled the lands. And Inishcorr is their last hope for survival, their portal to the place they are meant to be.
But to open that portal, Maeve needs the willing assistance of her chose bard: Colin. Yet even as Colin falls under her enchantment, Maeve too must struggle against emotions she cannot afford to recognize. For to allow herself to truly care for Colin could spell the end of her people’s hopes, dreams, and very existence.
Setting a book in Ireland is always a sure way to get me to read it, I love the history and the music. This book sounds like it going to be a little bit love story but more a story of survival. I’m not a huge love story fan but I’m fascinated by the jewel which seems to be the center of either main characters journey. I do look forward to getting to know Colin and Maeve, maybe I can be brought into their world by simply using the words of Stephen Leigh and my own imagination.
The Library at Mount Char By Scott Hawkins ($6.99)
A missing God.
A library with the secrets to the universe.
A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away.
Carolyn’s not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts.
After all, she was a normal American herself once.
That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father.
In the years since then, Carolyn hasn’t had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father’s ancient customs. They’ve studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they’ve wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.
Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation.
As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own.
But Carolyn has accounted for this.
And Carolyn has a plan.
The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she’s forgotten to protect the things that make her human.
Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy.
Wow! This looks like a sci-fi thriller and I couldn’t be more excited to give it all the attention it deserves. I’m in love with the characters having to read from the library about their powers and the powers of others, I love books and think everyone even literary characters should as well. I’m excited to find out if Father is really a God or just a want to be powerful entity.
BookCase.Club always pushes my literary boundaries and I love it. It’s wonderful to be introduced to new authors, genres and new books. I have enjoyed most of the selected books they have sent and actually get a little excited every month when I see my new blue box appear at my door. I miss the days of the hand written notes and less than stellar inserts with the books details but love the new bookmarks. BookCase.Club is also stepping up the game by providing me with two hardcover books instead of one along with a paperback book. I like the quality and care that goes into the selection and packing of each subscription box, please keep the books coming!
